From the project
Klipper Nano Expander, an Arduino Nano Shield to be used as an auxiliary Klipper MCU
An Arduino Nano Shield to use with Klipper 3D printer firmware, as a auxiliary MCU.
- Only require an Arduino Nano - +5V optional external power supply with fuse - Connected to the Arduino Nano 5V - Only required if you need more than 500mA power, else the Nano power supply should be enough - x4 temperature sensors (or any analog device as input) - x3 PWM mosfet driven port (or any PWM controlled device as output) - x1 Neopixel (external 5V power supply needed)
